Add URLs
done. as for your last question/link, to my knowledge, only one URL can be appended to a book record. which URL is more useful and/or official?
For SICP the existing URL is official, but http://sicpebook.wordpress.com/ clearly links to the official site as well as providing several useful links in addition to the PDF that has been created by the community from the source text. Definitely the more useful URL and would benefit anyone who discovered it via goodreads.com

Just added a book, but couldn't set the URL.https://www.goodreads.com/review/new/...
http://www.lulu.com/shop/ed-johnson/h...
Tim, in general, bookseller links do not belong in the URL field. So the Lulu link doesn't belong there.
(Exceptions are sometimes made when the linked page is the publisher's, and includes an excerpt or other additional book information not found on Goodreads, rather than just the ability to buy the book.)

The book is self published, lulu just prints the paper copy, but in this case I had provided a link for the ebook format, because it's available free, so is essentially an online book. Also the author's blog from which the material was assembled isn't online any more so that PDF is authoritative at this point. I've been attempting to provide URLs for any online readable books. Using the author's site when there is one, letting that provide the link to the content. In this case the lulu page is all that's left.

This one couldn't be created with ISBNs because they were already being used on the ebook edition (that's wrong right?)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Thanks! The paperback seems to be missing the subtitle the other two editions have. Not sure how that happened.
It is neither a site run by the author nor the publisher of that edition. So, still no.
There is no requirement that every book have an official URL. Many will have none which qualify by Goodreads policy. Older books especially.

Please add an URL:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
http://www.varianty.cz/index.php?id=1...
It's an official URL made by a publisher and it contains useful info about the book.
Thank you very much!

Please do not add the same request to multiple threads. Facebook links are not appropriate book-specific URLs. You are of course welcome to add the Facebook link to your author profile.

(Can two URLs be on one book?)
